Chapter 7 ConcludingRemarks
7.3 Recommendations for the future
Future work of this research will focus on optimizing the structure to increase propulsive force. In addition, the propulsive force can be limited at high frequency due to the dynamics of the 3 axes Helmholtz coils system and natural frequency, the actuation frequency also should be improved.
And also, the real time image should be feedback to operators for an
